Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe:

How do we coordinate linguistic structures with bodily resources such as gaze and gesture to bring about intelligible courses of action? This volume brings together leading international scholars to provide a coherent framework for analyzing the production of meaning and the organization of social interaction.

Críticas:

“Some of the best work now being done on the study of the intimate organization of human interaction is assembled in this book. It shows how, in interaction, multiple semiotic systems are always in play, and makes clear how no system studied in isolation, such as verbal expression or gesture, can be fully understood without grasping how it is orchestrated with others. The editors provide an extremely valuable introduction that sets the work presented in the volume in historical context and explains very clearly how the individual contributions fit together. The book will afford a major advance toward the inclusive theoretical framework that must eventually be developed if we are to have an appropriate grasp of how humans jointly achieve the coherent interactions through which they understand each other and the worlds in which they live. It will have very important implications for how language and human sociability are to be conceived of and understood.”
–Adam Kendon, Institute for Research in Cognitive Science, University of Pennsylvania
“The papers gathered here make a powerful case for an integrated perspective on meaning making in embodied interaction in the material world – implying an important caveat for 'language first' or logocentric approaches to interaction.”
–Elizabeth Couper-Kuhlen, University of Helsinki
